Atlanta is should be well rested off their bye. The Falcons lost in week four at home to the Bills.

The last time the Dolphins and Falcons met was in 2013. The Falcons won, 27-23 in Miami. The Dolphins lead the series, 8-4.

Miami Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins are looking to extend their win streak to two games. Miami last beat the Tennessee Titans in Miami, 16-10.

The Dolphins had just 178 yards of total offense in the win. Quarterback Jay Cutler was terrible, but Miami some how came away with a victory.

Cutler was 12 of 26 for 92 yards passing with one touchdown and one interception. He finished the game with a QBR of 6.5 and a rating of 52.1 for the game.

Dolphins running back Jay Ajayi had 25 carries for 77 yards and no touchdowns. Jarvis Landry had the only offensive touchdown for the Dolphins. Landry had five receptions for 44 yards.

This week the Dolphins will need to do more offensively. The will not win on the road with less than 200 yards of total offense in this game.

The defense was light’s out last week against a struggling Titans team. They allowed 188 yards of offense against Tennessee. The Titans were without starting quarterback Marcus Mariota.

The run defense shut down Demarco Murray and the Titans running backs. Murray had 14 carries for 58 yards. Tennessee was held to 69 yards rushing as a team.

The Dolphins will have their more than enough to deal with this week, against the most explosive team in the league on turf. The Dolphins might limit the running game, but have to take away Julio Jones and Matt Ryan as well.

Atlanta Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons could not have asked for a bye week at a better time. Atlanta was beaten at home against a feisty Buffalo Bills team. The Falcons led the entire game until the fourth quarter.

Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan looked uncomfortable in the pocket. He was 24 of 42 for 242 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. Ryan finished the game with a 61.8 passer rating. A number much lower than he is accustom to having.

Superstar wide receiver Julio Jones was limited to three catches for 30 yards and no touchdowns in the 23-17 loss.

Jones needs to have a big week this week against the Dolphins. Expect him to expose the Miami secondary at home.

Defensively, the Falcons have been solid all season, except for the fourth quarter of their loss against the Bills. They allowed 281 yards of offense against Buffalo in the home loss.

This week, look for the Falcons to put a ton of pressure on quarterback Jay Cutler. Atlanta should have a big day defensively against him in this matchup.
